No more ideas for Post Processing Permissions

[Bygons 3]

I have had some trouble getting permissions to work for the post processing file. initially the logs showed "permission denied" so I did

 

sudo chmod +rwx /home/antonio/bif/Linuxconvert.ls

and

sudo chmod +rwx /home/antonio/bif

to get permissions to the file and directory. I also made emby the owner of the post processing file to cover all the bases.

It seemed to work because now the emby user can see and has permissions to everything:

root@EmbyServer:~# ls -l /home/antonio/bif
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 antonio antonio 889308 Mar 30  2023 biftool.exe
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 emby    emby       454 Jun 28 12:04 Linuxconvert.sh
root@EmbyServer:~# sudo su -s /bin/bash emby
emby@EmbyServer:/root$ cd /home/antonio/bif
emby@EmbyServer:/home/antonio/bif$ ls
biftool.exe  Linuxconvert.sh

Now I am getting a "No such file or directory" error. I am so lost. Any ideas?

OK, one more idea. I looked at this:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70155625/bash-no-such-file-or-directory-when-file-is-clearly-present

and the answer fixed it. My endings were wrong, they were windows EOL characters because I am moving from a Windows box and the file originated there.

OMG.
